Maung Chit is 43 years old and the father of a large family. He lives with his family in Burma. He works very hard as a day laborer, employed by several large farms. In April 2016, Maung Chit experienced an accident while unloading timber from a wagon. A portion of the load fell on top of him and broke his right leg above the ankle. In June 2016, he made the four-hour journey to a clinic, where an X-ray of his leg was taken. He was referred to our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), to examine the large bulge on his leg, which was preventing him from walking. In December 2016, Maung Chit underwent an internal and external fixation surgery. Maung Chit now needs another surgery to remove the rod placed during his first operation. Our medical partner, BCMF, is requesting $1,500 for this procedure.

Path, a 38-year-old farmer from Cambodia, has an open fracture of his right distal tibia and fibula. The fractures were caused by a gunshot wound he sustained from the Thai army when he was crossing the Thai-Cambodian border. Path is married with one son, and he enjoys watching television and working around his home. After his injury, Path received some treatment in Thailand before returning to Cambodia and using Khmer traditional medicine, which proved unsuccessful. His wound is painful and produces pus discharge, preventing him from working. Path then traveled four hours with his brother to reach Watsi's medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. Surgeons at the facility will perform a debridement-- a surgical removal of infected and dead tissue-- to clean the wound. They will then perform an open reduction internal fixation surgery, during which they will remove the existing hardware from his leg, reset the fractured bones, and add a frame to fix them in place. Path cannot afford the $405 surgical procedure that he needs to properly repair his broken bones. Let's help Path raise the required funds so that he can heal and return to his work and family.
